@El-ahrairah covered this but seeing friends of mine that were lifelong ”Progressives” in LA are now finding out exactly what friends of mine found in Minneapolis during the Crackups at the Race Riots - the incompetent post turtles you elected so you’d feel good about yourself at brunch have now failed you and nobody is coming to save you. A neighbor of ours watched his 60+ year family business (Minnehaha Liquors) literally across the street front the 3rd Precinct burn to the ground and LA friends of mine (at the time) applauded it because it “sent a message about privilege” and not to worry because “they have insurance”.
Before I say this I want to make it clear I feel terrible for everyone that’s impacted by this but at some point decades of failure electing people based on “feels” and “representation” and letting them pass the buck comes to a head and people get a wake up call. Whether or not they answer that is up to them but after what happened during the Summer of Floyd I left the liberal shitholes behind for good and will NEVER let myself get into a situation where incompetent local leaders will fail me like that and expect me to just take it. If the voters and citizens of LA don’t demand these worthless local “leaders” answer for this mess they are beyond hope and will get much worse next time.
Really looking forward to the surprised_pikachu when the people staring at the burned out wreckage of their lives find out they were criminally underinsured for the contents of their home and are only going to get 20% of the value of the lives they just watched go up in flames. Insurance isn’t going to cover all of this and when that starts to get felt I 100% expect a lot of people to show their anger at an American Box that isn’t of the soap, jury, or ballot variety.
